A day-by-day account of Carter's work as a multi-issue activist, this series includes files documenting her speaking engagements and attendance at conferences, rallies, marches, retreats, meetings, and other types of gatherings.
Materials vary, but files typically include correspondence, such as emails, faxes, and memos leading up to a meeting or event; promotional materials, including mailings, advertisements, and clippings; items from the event itself, such as notes, schedules, meeting agendas, and information packets; as well as LGBT publications and pamphlets for local, related, or attending organizations. Occasionally, outlines or the full text of speeches are included. Materials that were weeded during processing include travel receipts and reimbursement forms, travel documents and tickets, area maps and brochures, and national news publications.
Arranged chronologically, with materials related to preparations for an event filed according to when the event occurred. For the most part, original order has been maintained, though many of the files from the 1980s and early 1990s were brought together during processing. Original folder titles have been retained, though loose materials were foldered and given titles following conventions established by Carter.
There is significant overlap with the Organizations and Projects Series. Some materials filed here are related to organizations represented in the Organizations and Projects Series, and some of the files listed here are physically filed within the Organizations and Projects Series to maintain original order.
